Whova automation
Turn a Whova post-event report into sponsor recaps
The event is over and each sponsor wants their numbers before the renewal call. Whova's post-event report holds them, inside a report of 60+ pages written for you, not for any single sponsor.
Cotlet does it in your own Whova account with list_events and get_post_event_report, called by your AI agent, an n8n workflow or a script.

Can Whova do this on its own?
Whova has no API or Zapier action for the post-event report (checked 12 Oct 2026). The report is Whova's own answer to sponsor ROI: a 60+ page document with a Sponsors and exhibitors section, and individual sections can be viewed and downloaded. It is one report for the organizer. We found no per-sponsor version of it in Whova's materials, so recaps for individual sponsors are still assembled by hand.
By hand
How you do it in Whova today
- Open the Tools tab in the Whova dashboard, find the Report section and request the Post-Event Report.
- Answer the short survey about your event experience that Whova asks before releasing the report; returning admins get a shorter version.
- Wait for the report, which Whova says is typically ready within a few days of the request.
- View or download the Sponsors and exhibitors section, then find the figures Whova reports for sponsors: total sponsor impressions, exhibitor leads, attendee profile views and the impressions of individual sponsors.
- Copy each sponsor's figures into a separate email or slide. Every sponsor needs the same lookup, and a figure copied into the wrong sponsor's recap goes out under your name.

How to turn a Whova post-event report into sponsor recaps
Prompt
Read the post-event report of Northwind Summit 2025 and draft a recap for each sponsor with their own impressions next to the event totals. Do not send anything. - 01
Pick the finished event
list_events with status past finds the event. When get_post_event_report returns not ready, the agent stops and tells you to request the report under Tools > Report, since only the organizer can trigger it and Whova needs a few days.
- 02
Read the sponsor section first
The agent asks get_post_event_report for the Sponsors and exhibitors section only, which keeps the run short, and reads the registration and engagement sections afterwards just for the headline figures every recap shares.
- 03
Build one recap per sponsor
Each draft puts the sponsor's own impressions next to the event total and the attendee count. Figures are quoted exactly as the report gives them; a metric the report does not show for that sponsor is written as missing, never estimated.
- 04
Flag what the report cannot answer
Exhibitor leads sit in each exhibitor's own portal, so a sponsor asking for lead names is pointed there rather than given a number the report does not break down.
- 05
Hand back drafts only
The run reads and writes text for you. Nothing goes to a sponsor until you send it yourself.
What you get back
Example data
Northwind Summit 2025 (14 to 16 Oct), Sponsors and exhibitors section.

- Compare each sponsor's impressions with last year's post-event report and note who grew.
- Write a one-page recap for our Gold sponsor only, with attendee engagement figures up front.
- Pull the registration and engagement headline figures from the report for our board update.
Before you automate it
What Whova allows, and what to know first
- Whova releases the post-event report only on request from the Tools tab, after the organizer completes a short survey, and says it is typically ready within a few days.
- Whova's post-event report can be viewed and downloaded section by section, and Sponsors and exhibitors is one of seven sections next to Attendee engagement, Event registration and Event logistics.
- Exhibitors collect their own leads in Whova with QR code scanning, manual entry and virtual booth interactions, and the exhibitor portal shows every lead captured with analytics and qualifiers.
- Whova's Cross-Event Report, under Manage Attendees in the Attendees section, compares registration, demographics and engagement with a past event, and its sections carry no sponsor data.
Every tool here only reads, so it can run on a schedule from n8n, Make, Zapier or cron without waiting for your OK.

Frequently asked questions
Can the agent request the post-event report for me?
No. Cotlet has no tool for it. Request the report under Tools > Report in the Whova dashboard and complete the short survey; once Whova releases it, the agent can read it.
